An Egyptian mask jumps onto Layla Noel's face during a college tour of a museum. This act propels Layla into an ancient knowledge quest conducted by Thoth the Atlantean. Having learned the ancient mysteries, she is then steered into alerting the world of the predicted Armageddon, which is slated to begin according to Aztec calendars on December 21, 2012. Layla, guided by a cosmic Mask of Time, becomes a beacon that shows the world how to survive earth's most extreme catastrophic event in 950,000 years. Does earth as we know it, survive? Does humanity heed the lessons taught? It is the love of history that brings four friends together in college. On a class tour of the De Young Museum in San Francisco, an old Egyptian mask mysteriously implants itself on our heroine Layla Noel's face. During a tour of Egypt, the mask takes Layla and her three companions, Ricky James, Josi Moore, and J.J. Martini, on a journey into the past. Strange events occur including a meeting with Thoth the Atlantean who orchestrates their knowledge quest. They are brought forward in time to Ancient Egypt where the group discovers that Layla is first daughter to Osiris and Isis. During a private ceremony held in the Great Pyramid her future is revealed. Urgency presses the group to return to the 21st century where they become involved in alerting humanity of worldly events soon to come as predicted by prophets and recent scientific data. During this time an elusive perfume fragrance has a tale to tell, while Layla's Uncle Seth causes undue havoc. Dec. 21, 2012 finds the group living on a ferry at the southern end of Bolivia's Titicaca Lake. As volcanoes erupt and earthquakes cause rough waters for their ferry, an ancient Peruvian discovery becomes the key to saving humanity.

His great battles against the sea raiders in the Nile Delta have left Pharaoh Tuthmosis II weak and frail, but he finds solace in victory and the welcome he is sure to receive on his return to Thebes. Across the river from the Egyptian capital, however, not all take pleasure in his homecoming. Reunited with his wife, Hatusu, and his people, Tuthmosis stands before the statue of Amun-Ra, the roar of the crowd and the fanfare of the trumpets ringing in his ears. But within an hour the Pharaoh is dead, and his unfinished tomb ritually polluted by a witch. The people of Thebes cannot forget the murder and the desecration any more easily than they can forget the frightful omen of wounded doves flying overhead. Rumor runs rife, speculation sweeps the royal city, and Hatusu vows to uncover the truth. With the aid of Amerotke, a respected judge of Thebes, she embarks on a path destined to reveal the great secrets of Egypt. The Mask of Ra is a compelling and dramatic novel set against the background of Egypt's eighteenth dynasty--a time of great change, as warlike Pharaohs fought to control not only the tribes on their western and southern borders, but to bring their subjects firmly under their rule.

Following the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922, the story of the boy who became Pharaoh, died young, and was buried in splendor at the height of Egyptian civilization captivated generations. But there exists a wide discrepancy between that saga and what scholars have learned in the past few decades about the king's reign and its major significance for the history of Egypt. Marianne Eaton-Krauss, a leading authority on the boy king and the Amarna Period, guides readers through the recent findings of international research and the relevant documentation from a wide variety of sources, to create an accessible and comprehensive biography. Tracing Tutankhamun's life from birth to burial, she analyzes his parentage, his childhood as Prince Tutankhaten, his accession and change of name to Tutankhamun, his role in the restoration of the traditional cults and his own building projects, his death and burial, and the attitudes of his immediate successors to his reign. Illustrated with color and black-and-white images, the book includes extensive endnotes and selected bibliography, which will make it essential reading for students and scholars as well as anyone interested in Tutankhamun.
